The Park

Friends of Luther Burbank Park was established in 1988, when the Park belonged to King County. The purpose was to maintain a peaceful nature park where birders, walkers and recreational users coexist, and to support protection and maintenance of the park. Today, Luther Burbank Park is the “jewel of Mercer Island.”
The 80-acre park is in two main portions, divided by I-90. The northern portion provides the only public waterfront trails on the Island. The park supports at least 80 species of birds and is home to other wildlife, including beaver and deer.
In April 2006, after significant community input, a Master Plan was approved to guide long-range development in keeping with the natural serenity of the park.
